one of the guys at work has a traxxas 4tec nitro car. said he will sell it for $200........ although i looked on ebay and the new one that does 60MPH is only $325 brand new lol..... i know its a waste but that should be fun in a big parking lot.... lol

That sporrt is a money pit like no tomorrow. I used to race Nitros for fun.

Parts are so freggin expensive. A trip to the hobby shop usually ends up costing $200

I sold my HPI Proceed last month to my Brother inlaw for $300.

He got a deal . I gave him all my extras.

Yeah.. That hobby is expensive.. I used to have an OFNA worlds 2 off road buggy.. I spent about $1500 total on it.. Damn it was fun but now that I think about it I could have spent that on my repu or B2600i..

A friend of mine used to have a Clod Hopper pulling truck, an RC10L carpet car, an RC10 dirt car, and a modified dirt truck....talk about having a ton of money tied up in something! It sure was sweet to see those little buggers move, though.

I used to be huge into the RC cars, they are a lot of fun, like any hobby they cost money, but it's cheaper then a good coke habit.

They actually make a single rotor, rotary engine one here in Japan... I saw it in RX-7 Magazine about a year and a half ago... It comes stock with a 3 speed transmission, 4 wheel drive and with 1.48hp... :bigthumg: That is a whole lot of fucken hp in a RC car... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png It was some where around $700... :rant: If it was cheaper I would have one... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

Damn that would be sweet, but who the hell wants to drop 700 on it.
